I do like it a lot. It's very beautiful.
I'm not sure about the tear. (If it is a tear). It looks a little random and out of place, not really blended witht picture, and perhaps you should have been a bit more careful about erasing the green from the top of the flower, but otherwise, yes, it's wonderful.

I've yet to read the poem that corresponds with the image so you'll have to excuse that (I'll write a critique after Ive done so as well..) this is a really interesting arrangement of images, and it flows well across the page (although a ~little~ angular, being that it's a straight diagonal) but thats okay it still works beautifully, I really like the images you've selected for this though from the spacescape to the sunset/sun to the flower they all work wonderfully with one another. the flare on the flower is a particularly nice touch.

Since you put 'advanced' critique though, I'm going to have to be a teensy bit nitpicky as well, but I suppose you want that so here's my only two gripes about the thing as a whole: The sun image, while definitely nice, the straight black line acrossed it I think kind of takes away from more detail acrossed it and takes a little bit away from the surreal, composed feel. Like seeing that it is a beautiful sunset with amazing tree silhouettes beside it is great, but then it abruptly ends and kind of takes away from that composure it had going for it. One other thing is the swirls in the spacescape, the swirl effect is brilliant, but it's implementation in a couple spots is a little ~too~ apparent (near the star cluster about 3/4 up the page on the right, where it gets brighter). Overall though I really enjoy looking at this piece, the face, flare, spacescape, 'tear' (?), and flower are wonderful. This is a very thought-provoking piece, which is a HUUUUGE bonus, obviously, as I've written this much on it, so overall great, just a tiny bit of cleanup (or more freeflow) would benefit it more I think. Good work

I love it! How could I not? I love the expression on the girl's face, and the sunset... and the night sky, and just..everything. It's so emotional. Wow. Thank you so much. I'm going to put this with the poem right now.

Thank you!
